Skeletal muscle fibre swelling contributes to force depression in rats and humans: a mechanically-skinned fibre study.
Article in Journal of muscle research and cell motility, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of fibre swelling on force production in rat and human skinned muscle fibres, using osmotic compression to reverse the fibre swelling. In mechanically-skinned fibres, the sarcolemma is removed but normal excitation-contraction coupling remains functional. Force responses in mechanically-skinned fibres were examined with and without osmotic compression by polyvinylpyrrolidone 40 kDa (PVP-40) or Dextran 500 kDa (dextran). Fibre diameter increased to 116 ± 2% (mean ± SEM) when rat skinned type II fibres were immersed in the standard intracellular solution, but remained close to the in situ size when 3% (mass/volume) PVP-40 or 4% Dextran were present.
